Mad Men

Season 1

In the glamorous and ego-driven world of advertising, everyone is selling something and nothing is ever what it seems.

I highly recommend anyone who hasn't started watching this series to start immediately. You'll love it; you'd be "mad" not to watch!

Mad men - an advertising series is an interesting show which focuses on the sixties era. How men were in charge and the women taken second lead. The work environment, the dress, the cars etc. is very interesting to see how it was in the 1960s.
